with Il profound sense of regret |
have to say that in discharging yesterday

| went to Otoe to explain to Smith my
reasons for discharging him, to hear his
defense if he had any. to pay him his
salary for the past quarter, and to dismiss
him. While very calmly and firmly per-

Detroit Free Press.
A rag-peddler who was driving up
Gratiot avenue Yesterday had reached
Hastings street when his horse baked.
The usual number of smart AIeck:
were soon on hand with their advice
and one suggestion after another was
tried in vain. The horse could neither
be pulled nor pushed, and as he wa:
bIockading traffic, the crowd began &c
grow very rapidly.
"What is it ?" inquired boy of IL,
who pushed his way into the circle.
"Balky horse" answered some one.
"Where's the owner? Here, you
man, can't you start this horse ?"
"No he don't start"
"Wait a minute"
The lad ran up the street half a
block and pulled a handful of hay
out of bale at a feed-store, and when
he returned he cleared space in front
of the horse, stood off about 5 feet,
and extended his hand. The horse
pricked up his ears, his eyes glistened,
and be at once advanced and followed
the boy around the corner.
"It's according to the hoss." ex-
planned the boy as the crowd cheered.
"When a hay-fed horse balks he
wants fire-crackers under him; when a
horse who is fed on scrap-iron and
gravel-roof balks, pinch of hay will
lead him all over town."

Official Red Tape.

Courier-Journal's Washington Letter.
General Poe is stationed at Detroit.
In a violent gale he saw a government
vessel wrecked with all aboard. He
quickly chartered a tug and sent it to
rescue the men. When he sent the
b II to Washington to pay for the
service of the tug the account was
returned as disallowed, owing to the
fact "that no bids had been opened
for the furnishing of tug to rescue
the drowning seamen." The dignity
of an office should be as jealously
guarded as its honesty. No laws are
so good as those of common sense, and
hair splittings are neither wise nor
desired.

A STRANGE SIGHT.
Bees Take Possession of q Confectionery In
Maine CITY.

Maine City.
witnessed strange sight in Port
land last summer, not exactly the ira
ditional bull in China shop" but bees
in a confectioner's. Passing down Con-
gress street, my attention was attracted
to the show window of West & Calder
woods confectionery, which was
thronged with bees busily engaged Gas
we have been led TO believe from
childhood they always are busy upon
the Jumps e sugar and candy there
displayed; covering themselves with
the sweets in the expectation of con-
seying the golden harvest which they
had discovered to their hive. Mighty
good I'D, / remarked to the proprietor,
stepping inside to investigate further.
"Yes, better than we desire. They
have taken possession of the establish
ment, and are running things in the
back shop at u high old rate. Look
herer'
Throwing open the door as he spoke,
what was my establishment to see the
place literally full of the little sweet
seekers. They were everywhere. Not
a square inch of space where fingered
any atoms of the sweets manufactured
there but was covered by them. The
utensils used in the act came in for
especial favor. Pots, pans and ladies
could not be distinguished as such,
but presented the appearance of a
struggling, swaying brown mass, while
the noise they made was enough to
warn us that retreat was the best move
we could make. Those in the outside
shop were but skirmishers from the
army within. yet they served to make
things very lively for the proprietors,
who were at loss how to proceed.
Very cautiously L moved about, Civ
ing to the bees all the room they de-
sired, for, after loading themselves
with all they could carry, in their en-
deavor to reach the outside and start
for the hive with their treasure they
would dart back and forth in the shop
in search of the exit in way quite too
suggestive of stings. So, leaving the
shopmen to get rid of the enemy a.
best they could, l strolled up street,
and mentioning the occurrence in con-
versation with another of our promi-
nent confectioners, he said:
ut is not at all an uncommon thing
for us to be troubled with bees-though
a whole swarm seldom makes descent
upon place at once; but let the stray
gler get home to the hive with q load
of sweets, and back he will come
bringing some of his fellows with him,
to be increased each trip until the place
is swarmed with them. Then the only
thing to be done is to close doors and
windows and fight them to the death.
We have to keep an eye open for bees,
and if We see straggler, kill him on
the spot before he gets chance to tell
his sisters, his cousins and his aunts
that he's found a bonanza. "--Le10iston

Poor Showing of Colonies.

A column and half of last Sundays
Kansas City TIMES contained the
names of only thirty colonies. Con.
sidering the fact that Kansas City is

in day we should Immediately label

Wichita, Kan, is in possession of a
couple of ministers who fell out about
q real estate deal and since that time
have been abusing each other without
stint. A real estate deal is generally
enough to cause an excitement in The
minds of ordinary individuals. but
outside of Kansas City it is considered
unorthodox for ministers to allow
their angry passions to rise and those
of Wichita had best call a halt.
Worldly people are apt to call chris
tianity which INDUCES in elimination
and recrimination a poor kind, and
anyhow It is only journalists who are
allowed to indulge in little amenities
of a certain kind and the Wichita
ministers are rather usurping priv
ileges which do not belong to them.

As general rule we are not in favor
of bomb throwing, but the next bum
that comes to this Office will surely be
thrown headlong down stairs. We do
not offer serious objections to their
taking our tobacco or the remnants
found in our dinner bucket, but we
most certainly object to their taking
the cream de la creme of our scanty

appetite as they please for something
to appease the cravings of the inne'
